Upside-Down French Braid Photo Tutorial

Last Saturday, we shared an Instagram of Rachel’s ‘Brunch Braid’ (a.k.a. an upside-down French braid with a bun) and we were overwhelmed by the interest in how to create this style! Your wish is our command. Rachel re-created the look with step by step photos and tips so you can do it yourself. 

You will need:

  • 1 strong pony holder
  • 1 thin pony holder
  • 1 sock that matches your hair color
  • Scissors
  • Bobby pins
  • Hair spray
  • Hair Brush

Smokey Eye Tutorial From A Pro: Guest Blogger

In the fashion world, there’s outfit envy. In the beauty world, there’s makeup envy — and we are seriously envious when it comes to Annamarie Tendler. A genius makeup artist, Tendler covers a wide range of topics on her am. blog, but her The Daily Face posts, which chronicle her day-to-day makeup looks, are our favorite. (FYI: She did an amazing series in October called The Spooky Scary Daily Face, which was epic.) Each day she inspires with a gorgeous new look, and for one whole week, she’s sharing her makeup expertise with lucky, lucky us.

The Daily Face is a project on my personal blog that I’ve been doing for almost a full year now. I do my own makeup, photograph it, and then explain how I achieved the look with a breakdown of what I used. Here’s my smokey eye, a classic look every makeup wearer should master!
